BUDDY
Trifolium repens
- Very high yield
- Perfect for mixing with ryegrass
- For grazing and combined management
- Tolerant to hard defoliation
Ideal mixing partner
Buddy is a medium leaved variety of white clover with very good yield of both grass and clover in a mixture through much of the season.
Made for grazing
Buddy is very well suited for grazing due to its high persistence under hard defoliation - much better tolerance than normally seen for a variety with such leaf size.
Top yield
Buddy has in trials shown yield levels way above varieties of white clover with larger leaves and at the same time proven ability to fit perfectly into a mixture with perennial ryegrass.
The high yielding capacity is showing right from the 1st cut in the spring.
